Version 2.11
Released July 11, 2009
596.0 KiB
Works with
Firefox 2.0 - 3.6a1pre

* Custom colors per proxy -- thanks, Jesper Hansen !!* Smooth icon animations -- thanks, Jesper Hansen !!* Fixed the huge width of the AddEditProxy dialog so it's not so huge* Changed all the donate/buy buttons and links* Added jesper to the about box* When adding a new proxy, the Proxy Details tab is now the default tab. This contributes towards faster addition of new proxies (one less click)* Warning message for "You didn't enter and enable any whitelisted (inclusive) URL patterns ..." now has a "Do not show this message again" checkbox for better usability to people who use FoxyProxy like SwitchProxy (i.e., load all URLs through one proxy at a time)* Revamp of "Do not show this message again" checkboxes so they can more easily be added for all sorts of annoying, recurring questions in FoxyProxy. As a side-effect, your previous selections for the two existing "Do not show this message again" checkboxes are reset after upgrading to this version. One of these is "The pattern has no wildcard characters ..." and the other is only for Thunderbird users ("You have chosen a non-SOCKS proxy. POP3, IMAP, and all other email protocols must use SOCKS proxies; they cannot use HTTP proxies. Continue anyway?") * Fixed longstanding bug whereby regular expression special characters ($, ., +, (, ), and ^) couldn't be used in URL patterns* Ability to sort patterns by clicking on the column headings* Ability to disable resetting of icon colors after URLs have finished loading via a "hidden preferenence" (i.e., no GUI currently). Change the attribute /foxyproxy[@resetIconColors] from true to false and restart Firefox. This enables you to easily see which proxy was last used (instead of having to use the FoxyProxy Logging tab).* Ability to remove the "FoxyProxy:" prefix in the statubar with a "hidden preferenence" (i.e., no GUI currently). Change the attribute /foxyproxy[@useStatusBarPrefix] from true to false and restart Firefox. This long-requested feature makes FoxyProxy display only the proxy name (or mode) and the FoxyProxy icon in the statusbar. It is useful for people who have lots and lots of Firefox addson that consume statusbar real-estate and who still want to be able to see the name of the current proxy or mode (i.e., users who don't want to uncheck the existing FoxyProxy "Global Settings->Show mode (text) on statusbar" setting.* Log sorting by clicking on a column -- contributed by Nathan S. Watson-Haigh* Open log URLs in tabs -- contributed by Nathan S. Watson-Haigh* Copy URLs of log rows to clipboard* Ability to delete log rows* Fixed launching of URLs on Sonbird and other platforms

* Version bumps for Firefox, Songbird, and Flock* Fixed bug on Linux (and possibly OS/X) whereby right-clicking on toolbar didn't show context-menu if that was the selected option in Global Settings* More options for QuickAdd activation (toolbar, statusbar, context-menu)* Changed help menu item in options dialog and context menus from http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/quickstart.html to http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/help.html* Translation updates

* Worked around Firefox 2.x bug whereby FoxyProxy caused Firefox 2.0.0.17 to crash when visiting an HTTPS website. Discussedat http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/drupal/content/foxyproxy-crashes-firefox-20017-shutdown. The Firefox bug is discussed at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=456705.* Editing QuickAdd/AutoAdd generated patterns now works again.* The FoxyProxy help page now opens upon new installation of FoxyProxy. The FoxyProxy release notes page opens upon upgrade of FoxyProxy, although this latter behavior appears flaky in Firefox 2.x. No cause for alarm; it won't crash Firefox :)* Fixed bugs in the QuickAdd and AutoAdd dialogs that display when clicking the "Define" button on the QuickAdd and AutoAdd tabs. These dialogs weren't correctly populated with previously-entered data.* Fixed bug whereby the QuickAdd notification dialog (Alt-F2) and AutoAdd notification dialog were incorrectly displaying URL patterns and the "Temporary" checkbox value* Duplicate patterns are now (once again) prevented when using QuickAdd and AutoAdd to add new URL patterns* The Tor Wizard starts at a more appropriate time during startup on Firefox 3 and new FoxyProxy installation. Specifically, the wizard now starts after the browser window has completely loaded and restored, making the wizard look more appropriate. Previously, the wizard opened before any browser window had opened. This also has the effect of the last page of the wizard (where you enter patterns) appear correctly styled, unlike in previous FoxyProxy versions.* Added buttons for donating and the donation list page.* Translation updates

* Fix for PAC loading problem discussed at http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/drupal/content/pac-support. You should now remove all PAC-specific patterns from FoxyProxy.* Loading, testing, and viewing PAC files now always bypasses the Firefox cache as discussed at http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/drupal/content/intranet-pac-file-and-alternate-no-proxy-journey.* Performance improvements executing PAC files during web surfing.* Improved error reporting for many kinds of PAC errors.* When testing PAC with the "Test" button, sliding notifications have been replaced with more appropriate message boxes.* Fixed incorrect informational popup as discussed at http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/drupal/content/pattern-template-reference.* Some text updates for clarity. For example, "You didn't enter and enable any whitelisted (inclusive) URL patterns. This means the proxy won't be used. Continue anyway?" is changed to "You didn't enter and enable any whitelisted (inclusive) URL patterns. This means the proxy won't be used unless FoxyProxy is set to "Use Proxy %S for all URLs". Continue anyway?"* Translation updates.* Firefox version compatibility bumped to 3.1b1pre

Version 2.8.4
Released July 5, 2008
446.0 KiB
Works with
Firefox 2.0 - 3.1a2pre

* Fixed problem when adding a feed (RSS/ATOM) to Firefox through the feed image in the address bar. feed:// URLs are meant to be handled internally by Firefox and not passed to a proxy. This was originally fixed in FoxyProxy 2.6 but seems to have regressed.

Version 2.8.3
Released June 30, 2008
446.0 KiB
Works with
Firefox 2.0 - 3.0.*

* Fixed annoying "PAC file loaded" dialog on startup. This only affects people using PAC files on certain platforms. It appears related to having lots of extensions installed, or at least extensions which significantly slow down browser startup time.

Version 2.8
Released June 24, 2008
445.0 KiB
Works with
Firefox 2.0 - 3.0.*

* Home pages now always load through the proper proxy. This required a major rewrite of most FoxyProxy code.* Many user interface fixes, updates, changes.* Fixed FoxyProxy windows getting bigger and bigger after each opening* Fixed toolbar button sizing and spacing fix* Fixed mode synchronization in Options dialog* Fixed support for multiple simultaneous PAC files* Support for Flock (again). Note I've only done minimal testing of FoxyProxy with Flock.* QuickAdd enhancements and performance improvements (e.g., you can now add "temporary" patterns)* AutoAdd enhancements and performance improvements. Autoadd is now actually usable on many web pages, although there are still performance issues on large pages like the new Yahoo! Mail.* Fixed resource leak when deleting a proxy that auto-loads PAC files* Removed lots of cruft. Enormous amounts of refactoring. Other fixes and minor changes.* Updated help docs and corresponding links in extension* Translation updates for many translations. Hungarian (hu-HU) and Macedonian (mk-MK) translations started* Dropped support for Firefox 1.0 and 1.5. FoxyProxy may still work with these version of Firefox, but I don't have the time to test against them.

Version 2.7
Released March 3, 2008
422.0 KiB
Works with
Firefox 1.5 - 3.0b4pre

* Support for Songbird 0.4 and above.* Added ability for fixed-width status bar, requested by many users in the FoxyProxy Forums. See the new option Fixed width on the Global Settings tab.* Patterns can now be case-insensitive. When you upgrade to version 2.7, existing patterns are converted to be case-insensitive even though the default behavior of FoxyProxy prior to 2.7 was for patterns to be case-sensitive. The reason for this conversion is that we anticipate most users will want their patterns to be case-insensitive.* Updated translations.* Removed Hungarian translation since it's been abandoned by the translator. Please join us on Babelzilla if you'd like to take over the Hungarian translation or convert FoxyProxy to another language.

Fixed bug introduced in 2.6.1 whereby FoxyProxy sometimes starts in disabled mode. Note that upon first installation, FoxyProxy always starts disabled. After subsequent starts of Firefox, however, FoxyProxy now remembers its last mode. This behavior was broken for 2.6.1. Please install 2.6.2.
